Although Logan and Victor already possess four different abilities and cannot enhance them further, their strength was already formidable under Chen Mo's years of training.

Over a century of battles, both large and small, have forged them into battle-hardened super soldiers with unparalleled combat skills and experience. Coupled with their indestructible Adamantium skeletons, even the other members of the X-Force, after being enhanced and possessing more powerful mutant abilities, are still no match for these two.

After all, even if they possessed the ability to teleport, the huge gap in reaction, speed, strength, and skill experience could not be easily eliminated. If they were just running away, Logan and his companion would be helpless against them. However, if they were to engage in a direct battle, even if they had learned to teleport, they would eventually be caught by the two of them, just like the John Wraith in the movie.

Chen Mo's enhancement plan for Wade and Agent Zero was completely different from William Stryker's "Deadpool". Apart from Adamantium, Chen Mo did not enhance their abilities, because in Chen Mo's opinion, the ability of the Cyclops was not very useful. It was troublesome to use, requiring nearly a second of preparation time, and it was easy to dodge or interrupt. Although its power was not small, and it was excellent at demolishing buildings, it was difficult to cause much damage to powerful enemies. At most, it could only knock them away. In actual combat, it was not as useful as the Adamantium long blades in Wade's hand.

The effects of telekinesis are much more comprehensive. It grants them the ability to launch mental attacks and manipulate objects with their minds, and it also provides significant assistance in their combat and missions.

For the two who already possess powerful offensive capabilities, what they need more are mental and control skills that they didn't originally have, rather than another type of offensive ability.

As for whether he would use his Mind Stone abilities to betray Chen Mo was not worried about that.

First of all, Mind Stone control is not a panacea. It is only effective on people with weaker mental strength, and its effect is only temporary. If Mind Stone control is not continuously strengthened, the controlled person will regain consciousness.

Even with their highest level of mental strength (level four), they could only hypnotize weak Mutants like Chen Mo, Logan, and Victor at all.

Moreover, Chen Mo was very confident in their loyalty.

Even before he gained telekinesis, Chen Mo, though lacking the ability to control people's minds, could accurately discern whether others were loyal to him through his keen perception.

He cannot directly convert enemies into loyal subordinates, but he can select truly reliable and loyal people from among his many subordinates and give them important positions. This is more reliable than any brainwashing method.

Chen Mo's keen perception allows him to grasp every subtle fluctuation in the other person's body and deduce their psychological activities from it. Even those elite agents who have undergone special training, whose expressions, eyes, and body movements can deceive the most authoritative psychologists and whose heartbeats and breathing can pass the most rigorous lie detector tests, are still only trained for conventional visual judgment and detection instruments. When people are engaged in various psychological activities, whether it is lying, hatred, joy, or sadness, the body will have corresponding reactions from the inside out. It is not possible to completely hide these reactions simply by controlling the heartbeat, breathing, expressions, and eyes. In fact, it is impossible to completely hide them at all.

It is impossible to control all of the hundreds of muscles in the body, especially the smooth muscles that are not under conscious control. The contraction of blood vessels in various parts of the body, the peristalsis of the intestines, the tightening of the bladder, and other subtle internal bodily activities that are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be detected by a lie detector can all reflect a person's psychological state at that time.

Chen Mo could detect even the slightest fluctuations in their bodies and thus determine their true psychological state. In a sense, Chen Mo had already developed the ability to read minds.

However, this isn't as magical as some kind of mental ability. It's entirely an application of biology, medicine, and psychology. While it can't know exactly what someone is thinking like mind-reading, such as what they ate last night, their password, or their action plans, it can discern their true psychological activities—whether they are telling the truth or lying, loyal or deceitful. No subtle emotional fluctuation can escape Chen Mo's perception. Even specific information about their inner thoughts can be obtained through continuous questioning and their reactions. Therefore, Chen Mo's mind-reading ability allows him to easily select a group of loyal subordinates.

This is why he trusted Logan, Victor, Zachary Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, the soldiers of First Special Operations Team, General Munson and Dr. Carol Foster, and the members of X-Force. Among them, Wade and Agent Zero's loyalty was second only to Logan, Victor, and the two President of the United States, with whom he had worked for over a hundred years.

Therefore, among the people who underwent this enhancement, Chen Mo only enhanced the psychic power of the two of them, which had the greatest potential.

The reason why the two are more loyal than others is not only due to their own reasons, but also because of Chen Mo's efforts.

As long as they are not overly paranoid or extremely hostile towards Chen Mo, with the rich psychological knowledge Chen Mo has gained from numerous books and HYDRA's long-term brainwashing research, cultivating the loyalty of his subordinates is not a problem. His keen perception and mind-reading ability play a huge role, allowing Chen Mo to grasp their psychology at any time based on their reactions, make appropriate adjustments, and continuously test their loyalty to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Throughout his years leading the X-Force, Chen Mo has never stopped "brainwashing" them. Of course, this kind of brainwashing is actually a subtle influence and will not have a significant effect in a short period of time. Therefore, Agent Zero was initially quite resistant to Chen Mo, but gradually accepted Chen Mo later.

Chen Mo's "brainwashing" method is gentle yet effective, like a gentle breeze that is imperceptible to the touch, yet it builds up a strong sense of loyalty over time. This kind of "brainwashing" is far more sophisticated than William Stryker's memory erasure and drug control.

Actually, this shouldn't be called brainwashing. To be precise, it's about cultivating loyalty. However, compared to other people's methods of coercion, bribery, and appeasement, Chen Mo's method is more scientific, efficient, and stable. Given enough time, Chen Mo can completely gain a person's loyalty, just like HYDRA and the Knights of the Underworld.
